cx-freeze doesn't find all dependencies - python

I have a python script (2.7) with some "interesting" imports at the top. I initially wanted to use py2exe to compile this into an exe that I can more easily distribute (py2exe doesn't find all dependencies).
I have given up and am trying to use cx-freeze instead. But, I am having problem there as well. The problems seem to be libraries I have added to Python (jinja2 and restkit). I see them in my python directory ./Lib/site-packages/Jinja2-2.6-py2.7.egg/jinja2 and here ./Lib/site-packages/restkit-4.2.1-py2.7.egg/restkit.
Here are the imports in my script:
import datetime
from jinja2 import Environment, PackageLoader
from optparse import OptionParser
from datetime import date, timedelta
from restkit import Resource, BasicAuth, request
I am using a setup.py with cx-freeze. Here is the setup.py:
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
packages = ["restkit", "jinja2" , "restkit.client" ]
includes = []
includefiles = []
eggsacutibull = Executable(
script = "myScript.py",
initScript = None,
targetName = "myScript.exe",
compress = True,
copyDependentFiles = True,
appendScriptToExe = False,
appendScriptToLibrary = False,
icon = None
)
setup(
name = "myScript",
version = "0.1",
author = 'vickery',
description = "MyScript description",
options = {"build_exe": {"includes":includes, "include_files": includefiles, "packages": packages}},
executables = [eggsacutibull]
)
I run cxfreeze like this:
cxfreeze myScript.py --target-dir exe
I get this in my build:
Missing modules:
? __pypy__ imported from jinja2.debug
? http_parser.http imported from restkit.client
? jinja2._debugsupport imported from jinja2.debug
? jinja2._markupsafe._speedups imported from jinja2._markupsafe
? jinja2.debugrenderer imported from jinja2.debug
? markupsafe imported from jinja2.utils
? pretty imported from jinja2.utils
? socketpool imported from restkit.conn
And, when I try to run the exe, I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\Python27\lib\site-packages\restkit-4.2.1-py2.7.egg\restkit\__init__.py", line 9, in <module>

exec code in m.__dict__

ImportError: cannot import name Resource
Edit:
I am now running cxfreeze correctly like this:
python setup.py build
I also added socketpool to my setup.py:
packages = [ "restkit", "jinja2" , "restkit.client", "restkit.conn", "socketpool" ]
But, when I try to build now, I get a build error:
$ python setup.py build
running build

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\finder.py", line 274, in _ImportModule
raise ImportError("No module named %r" % name)
ImportError: No module named 'socketpool'
What has me confused here, is, my script compiles just fine. In addition, I can import these modules from a python shell. For example:
$ python
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Nov 27 2010, 18:30:46) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import socketpool
>>> from restkit import Resource, BasicAuth, request
>>>
How is python resolving modules that is differnt than cxfreeze?
Edit2:
From python I can do this:
>>> import socketpool
>>> print socketpool.__file__
c:\python27\lib\site-packages\socketpool-0.5.2-py2.7.egg\socketpool\__init__.pyc
Is that a non-standard place to look for a package? Can I used PYTHONPATH to coerce cxfreez into looking there for socketpool?
Thanks

I know this thread is old but I just spent 4 days figuring this out and it might be helpful for someone else so here goes:
The description for include_files option in cx_freeze is misleading. If you want to use the include_files option for build_exe here is an example of how you do that
include_files=[
(r"C:\Python27\Scripts\mk2ifcoremd.dll", "mk2ifcoremd.dll"),
(r"C:\Python27\Scripts\mk2ifportmd.dll", "mk2ifportmd.dll"),
(r"C:\Python27\Scripts\mk2imalloc.dll", "mk2imalloc.dll"),
(r"C:\Python27\Scripts\mk2iomp5md.dll", "mk2iomp5md.dll"),
(r"C:\Python27\Scripts\mk2mmd.dll", "mk2mmd.dll"),]
You must have a list of tuples with an absolute path for the source and ONLY THE FILENAME for the destination.
I ran into trouble with cx_freeze because it did/ does not copy all the required DLLs into the dist directory. So my exe tested fine on my machine but did not work on another machine that did not have Python installed. In order to debug this I had to repeatedly move my Python installation out of the way (renamed C:\Python27 to C:_Python27) and see if there were missing libraries.
Here is an example setup.py file that works for me:
# invoke using:
# python setup.py build
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
import sys
import glob
import os
import zlib
import shutil
# Remove the existing folders folder
shutil.rmtree("build", ignore_errors=True)
shutil.rmtree("dist", ignore_errors=True)

In case anyone ever runs across this, the problem seemed to be that cxfreeze does not play nicely with eggs. Once I extracted the code out of the egg (renamed it to a zip and unzipped), and, created for example: Python27\Lib\site-packages\socketpool for the code, then ran the build, things seemed to work fine.
Seems like a hack. Time for a shower.

I have the following directory structure to my python project:
eplusplus/
|
|
----__main__.py
----model/
----exception/
----controller/
----view/
The directories: model, exception, controller and view each one has its
__init__.py. When I run the program at my machine I always use this following command: py -m eplusplus. But when I tried to use py2exe or pytinstaller the the points to: permission denied. For what I found, this is because its a directory I trying to compile, but when I compiled the __main__.py it compiled normally, but when I try to execute it says: Error! No eplusplus module founded!
I have no setup.py file and I don't know how they worked.

After some very intensive research and error and try I succeeded by doing this:
I added an empty __init__.py at the eplusplus folder
Out of the eplusplus folder, I had to write a compilation.py file (the file doesn't necessary must have this) to include all libraries I was using (I will post the file at the end of this answer)
Finally, at the PowerShell, all I have to type was py compilation.py py2exe
Thanks for all that tried to help me!

I am making an app using python 2.7 on windows and keyring-3.2.1 . In my python code on eclipse, I used
import keyring
keyring.set_password("service","jsonkey",json_res)
json_res= keyring.get_password("service","jsonkey")
is working fine as I am storing json response in keyring. But, when I converted python code into exe by using py2exe, it shows import error keyring while making dist. Please suggest how to include keyring in py2exe.

The issue you're reporting is due to an environment that contains invalid modules, perhaps from an improper installation of one version of keyring over another. You will want to ensure that you've removed remnants of the older version of keyring. In particular, make sure there's no file called keyring\util\platform.* in your site-packages.
After doing that, however, you'll encounter another problem. Keyring loads its backend modules programmatically, so py2exe won't detect them.
To work around that, you'll want to add a 'packages' declaration to your py2exe options to specifically include the keyring.backends package. I invoked the following setup.py script with Python 2.7 to convert 'app.py' (which imports keyring) to an exe:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(
console=['app.py'],
options=dict(py2exe=dict(
packages='keyring.backends',
)),
)
The resulting app.exe will import and invoke keyring.

In my main script, lets call this MyScript.py, I have it like this:
import psyco
psyco.full()
And then my setup.py looks like this:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe, sys, os, glob
sys.argv.append('py2exe')
import psyco #speed up compilation
psyco.full()

It would seem that the psyco module is not being put into the executable. I've been searching, and I haven't found a working solution to get py2exe to copy psyco over.
And please refrain from posting solutions along the lines of 'don't use py2exe'.
Thank you in advance whomever can help me out here.

Hunting down py2exe errors appears to be an art to me.
That said, I will at least offer something to try.
I py2exe'ed a psyco enabled python script and tossed it in the includes part of the setup.
Thats the only part that looks different between your setup and my old one.
options = {'py2exe': {'packages': [ 'IPython'],
'includes': ["psyco"],
}
}
Also I was never able to enable optimize. It always caused random errors. Best to leave that one off in my experience. I think it was matplotlib that caused those errors.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,

My application uses QGraphicsPixmapItem, and to make it able to load jpeg files I've placed qjpeg4.dll under 'imageformats' subdirectory in the 'dist' directory.
It works, but only as long as 'bundle_files' option is set to 3.
If I set it to 1 or 2, qt4 (pyqt4) is no longer able to find needed dlls, and so QGraphicsPixmapItems is not visible.
setup.py:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(
options = {'py2exe': {'bundle_files': 1}},
description = "",
name = "name",
windows = ["mainwindow.py"],
zipfile=None,
)

You should be able to convince py2exe to include the dll by using:
setup(
# other options,
data_files=[('imageformats', 'qjpeg4.dll'),
#other options
)
For future reference, data_files should look like this (afaik):
data_files = [ (dir1, [file1, file2, ...]), (dir2, [file3, file4, ...]), ...]
EDIT 1: You could try using a directory structure like this (source):
yourapp.exe
[qt.conf] (optional? see lower down)
plugins/
imageformats/
qjpeg4.dll
And if that doesn't work, here suggests using a qt.conf file that looks like this:
[Paths]
Plugins = <directory containing the imageformats directory>
Which apparently should work fine so long as the core dll QtCore4.dll has been included correctly (as it needs this .dll to interpret your qt.conf file).

I'm trying to compile a simple Python program, that uploads files to an S3 bucket using the boto package, in to a single, redistributable .exe file. I'm open to any compilation method. So far I've tried both bbfreeze and py2exe and both yield the same results. The code in question that causes trouble looks like this:
import boto
#...snip...
fname_base = os.path.basename(fname)
s3 = boto.connect_s3(aws_access_key_id=_aws_key, aws_secret_access_key=_aws_secret_key, is_secure=False);
bucket = s3.get_bucket(_bucket)
key = bucket.new_key(fname_base)
key.set_contents_from_filename(fname)
Compiled with either executable bundling utility and run I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named multipart
I'm using ActiveState Python 2.6 on Windows XP SP3. The boto package was installed with:
easy_installer --always-unzip boto
I used the --always-unzip option based on the information found here about py2exe having issues with the egg files that were unpacked. Unfortunately the error I get is the same when I use bb-freeze to build the executable.
The output from py2exe includes, near the end, the following bit of information:
The following modules appear to be missing
['_scproxy', 'email.Encoders', 'email.MIMEBase', 'email.MIMEMultipart', 'email.MIMEText', 'email.Utils', 'simplejson']
Which lends some hints. I tried methods suggested in other posts to SO where the -i option was recommended when compiling with py2exe and unfortunately nothing helped. In those other questions the users were doing their own explicit inclusion of of the email sub-modules. I could not figure how to adapt those solutions to my case unfortunately and just adding them with -i didn't stop py2exe from warning me of the missing modules, or the resulting bundled exe from failing with the missing module error.
Can someone help me get this code bundled for redistribution?

I actually got this to work. The answer was to ditch boto and use the poster library instead. I still use boto to generate a signed policy and the necessary form fields for POST I do via poster, but the actual executable that does the POST only includes poster now. With just poster in the mix, py2exe doesn't have any issues creating a standalone executable for me for redistribution.

I know this is an old question, but I had the same problem and fixed it while still using py2exe and py2app. Just use the 'packages' option instead of the 'includes' option in your setup.py:
extra = {}
mainscript = "foo/__main__.py"
if is_os_x():
extra["setup_requires"] =['py2app']
extra["app"] = [mainscript]
extra["options"] = { "py2app": {
"packages": ['email'],
}
}
elif is_windows():
extra["setup_requires"] =['py2exe']
extra['console'] = [mainscript]
extra['options'] = {'py2exe': {
# Includes that py2exe doesn't include automatically
'packages': ['email'],
}
}
setup(
# snip
** extra
)
Hope that helps.

I've managed to create working exe with boto & py2exe
Add to your script.py
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
Next error is with HTTPS connection, it seems that py2exe is "hiding" cert file somehow..
The way to fix this is
1) use HTTP
OR
2) dont check certs
1) HTTP
conn = boto.connect_dynamodb(
aws_access_key_id = ' ',
aws_secret_access_key = ' ',
is_secure = False)
"is_secure = False" is crutial
2) DONT CHECK CERTS
conn = boto.connect_dynamodb(
aws_access_key_id = ' ',
aws_secret_access_key = ' ',
is_secure = True,
validate_certs = False)
"validate_certs = False" is crutial
If someone figures out how to fix error in cert validation, please reply !
